Considering it’s now football season and considering the way the Oakland Coliseum baseball field has looked in past Septembers, compliments are in order to the man with the toughest job in baseball.
The Oakland Athletics’ heads groundskeeper has Rickey Henderson Field looking pretty nice for baseball. The yard lines are nearly impossible to see, and the outfield, where the grass-killing Mount Davis sits on NFL game days, doesn’t look terrible.
That might change after Monday, when the Oakland Raiders play host to Monday Night Football, but things look pretty good, relatively speaking, this weekend.
As for the Texas Rangers, they looked much better Saturday afternoon than Friday night.
